The tournament joins the US and Aussie Opens in employing video review systems.
Replay systems will be launched at The Championships for the 2025 edition.
Players will gain the ability to question specific rulings made by the chair umpire, mirroring the system already in operation at each of the American Grand Slam and the Aussie major.
This innovation is slated for use on the main stadium and the number one court for the duration of the Championships and on the remaining featured courts when they are staging singles contests.
This step follows just a year after the AELTC implemented electronic line calling, which terminated the 147-year role of line officials.
What Can Be Reviewed?
Players cannot to challenge the accuracy of the ELC system, but they can ask for the official to re-examine specific decisions, including:
- If a ball has bounced twice.
- Whether a shot made contact with an rival's racket or body on the way past.
- Potential hindrance end of a point.
Notably, there is an unlimited number on the amount of challenges a competitor can initiate.
A Recent Example
A recent example took place in a recent tournament last week, where a top player used the video challenge against his opponent.
Draper admitted it was a difficult situation for the umpire, but believed his opponent had "played the rules effectively."
Official Aurelie Tourte watched a replay and ruled Draper was responsible for interference, awarding the point to his opponent.
Broader Adoption
This technology are not new for Grand Slams. The system has been in use at the US Open since 2023 and the Aussie Open since 2025.
Furthermore, it is increasingly prevalent on the WTA circuit, and by next season the men's ATP Tour plans to have video reviews in place at every one of its events.
Other Changes
A further innovation at Wimbledon 2025 involves the introduction of graphical cues on scoreboards to support the verbal announcements from the electronic line calling system.
This addresses situations where fans have occasionally been uncertain whether a ball was in or out.
In other news, with exactly 100 days to go until the beginning of the tournament, organizers have further announced an expansion in daily capacity at the qualifiers in the qualifying venue.
